Review: MIDSUMMER SUENO at San Pedro Playhouse
by Jill Ripa - April 11, 2024


The story in this adaptation was told distinctly and clearly within a culture of current language mixed with classic Shakespeare verse, a little Spanglish, and against the backdrop of a wonderful set design by Anthony Claravino that represented the Hot Wells ruins from south San Antonio. The colorful sights and sounds of the ballet folklorico and music, composed by Jaime Ramirez, danced around all of this humor and action creating a perfectly magical evening for all who attended.
